DEAR EDITOR,
My letter title is taken on the backdrop the changes are inevitable with a change in Governmental administration, but the more troubling part is when the new administration continues down the same path as the old, then where that leaves our young professionals. I have been following the appointment of many government boards and while many good people are appointed, there are many dead weights that are just being repaid for political loyalty.
This brings me to the real issue at hand. One of the major utility companies had a few executive vacancies advertised. I am sure many young professionals would have been enticed by these opportunities and make an application. Lo and behold, these vacancies were filled by persons who were promised jobs under this administration and re-hiring of the previous people who served before the change of the last administration. Even more troubling is the head of the agency went back to his position, so it is obvious that he wanted the same team that served under his previous tenure.
Why is this so? What happens to our young professionals who are well qualified but are not part of the social or political elitism? It is very disheartening to know that you would respond to a vacancy and stand no chance of ever getting the job despite your qualifications and experiences. This great misfortune has certainly resulted in the continuous brain drain that our country has experienced since post-independence. Sadly, this practice has also found its way in the private sector as well. It is no longer the best fit, but the favourite candidate who will kowtow to the powers that be.
